Morning atmosphere at Songzanlin Monastery

💞Reason for recommendation: The morning view at Songzanlin Monastery is truly stunning. If you take the monastery's shuttle bus to the parking lot, don't rush to walk up to the monastery. Instead, take a stroll along the path around the lake in front of the monastery first. The morning sun isn't too harsh, and the atmosphere is serene and captivating. After taking photos, if you find climbing the stairs to the monastery too challenging, you can rest by the lakeside or at the entrance where there are benches available.

However, if you're able to climb, it's worth it. The 75-yuan ticket includes both the shuttle bus and monastery entrance fee. The architecture at the top is beautiful, Tibetan-style, and makes for stunning photos.
